STYLISH COMBINATIONS.

Directions for Producing Neat and FASH
ionable Feminine Costumes.
The most characteristic feature of the
style of any gown is the manner in
which the materials composing it are
combined. It is rare to see very
striking contrast of colors, but where
such contrasts are used, the fabric is
the same. or the combination so cum
ningly contrived that the appearance
of. unity is not lost.
Fine cloths are made up in two con-
trasting colors, such as boa, or serpent
gray, with deep mousse, or Russian
green, the lighter color used for dra-
peries and basque, making it the DOM
inant, tone of the costume, and the
dark color for the underskirt, and the
vest.pr chemisette, V-shaped piece for
the back, and whatever other accessor-
les are used for the basque. Pinked-out
edges of the contrasting colors, alter
mating, are used ON the draperies of
some cloth dresses and the fashionable
combinations of color-plum-color and
lava, cactus-red and Cuban brown,
dansbou and black, moss-green and
aspic, etc.-are very effective in this
style of garniture.
The material in the dark color may
be velvet or MORE antique. instead of
goods of the same textures. and in cos
tunes made entirely of one color, wool
or cloth and any silken fabric may be
combined, such as MORE antique, faille
Franchise or watered silk in the same
shade. t~'-+ a. So.
(. When using plain and figured fab
rio in combination, such as the snowy
stripes with ono plain color. the striped
material is generally used for the plain
underskirt (nounted, of course, on a
gored foundation), and for a vest.
chemisette or revers, cuffs, and collar
on the waist, and drapery-revers or
paniers on the skirt or polonaise. Some
times, however, the case is reversed,
and very elaborate pattern in stripes
is used for the upper part of the dress,
'as in an exquisite white MORE antique
brocade, where the striped MORE formed
the bodice and train, while the front Of
the dress was GOV cred with lace founces
put on plain faille skirt. As q rule,
however, ii is safe to select some plain
material for the waist and a consider
able portion Of the drapery, and let the
figured goods take its chances. A.
striped fabric will hardly come amiss

could not stave off modification. The proudest
people under the sun were made to humble
themselves before their enemies. In any other
country than China such experiences would
wreck the Government and insure the ]restora-
ton of the liberal Minister whose advice, had
it been followed, would perhaps have obviated
these indignities and injuries. But i'll China
the force of conservatism is cumulative. The
drag back of the whole Nation against all in
noyation is phenomenal. And it Is not certain
that even the pride of country, which is strong
ly developed, is altogether a match for this
tyranncal influence.
The reformer in China has tough job before
him. He finds himself opposed by dead
weight of unreasoning hostility; all the harder
to cope with because it is. so to speak, vague
and formless mass. Specific objections to
proposed change can be combated but Obiec-
tons which rest on general hostility to any
mutation are hard to get at and remove. In
| fact, progress" is to the average Chinaman
pretty nearly what "heresy" was to the Eu-
ropeans during the dark ages. The barbarism
of China is exhibited in her stubborn archaic
conservatism more strongly than IN aught else.
Races which reject the new Obstinately and ir-
nationally are at bottom still IN low state OF
evolution. The savage is the greatest Tory
living and Chinese Toryism is hardly distln-
guishable from that of the savage. Marquis
Tseng may be right. China may really be on the
verge of an awakening. But when we remem-
Der how many centuries it has taken to bring
her to her present attitude and how FAINT has
been the impression made upon her by nearly
a century of partial intercourse with Western
peoples. it seems chimerlcal to anticipate radi-
cal change. no matter how sagaciOus or how
eager the advocates of progress in her gov
eminent may be. More probably the world
will for comparatively long time have to
regard the light of China as a flash light, in
termitting periods of darkness with bursts OF
illumination; and not as a fixed light, she'd
ding abroad steady flood of radiance.

CHINAS FLASH LIGHT

Recent dispatches from China seem to bear
out the predictions of tho Marquis Tseng in the
last Asiatic Quarterly Review that China is on
the eve Of another period of activity and
progress. The Chinese diplOmatist himself in

but all who have watched the course of events
in the Middle Kingdom must be aware that the
influence of the National inertia Ia formidable
obstacle to movement OF any kind, and must
experience serious doubt as to the success of
the enlightening energies available. The re-
port tina Prince KuDg is to be restored to favor
and power is certainly encouraging to the
friends Of China, for he represents the reforma-
tory and progressive element, and, given lite
and scope, he Is capable OF doing as much as
any one toward breaking the letters of Gus
tom and cOnoeit which have bound the Chinese
so long. Nevertheless, 1t is plain that up to
the present time no serious impression has been
made upon public opinion IN China-upon the
National mind. to be more exact-by the party
which advocates the adoption of occidental
ideas and methods and things. What Is
specially important Is the alb ,once OF change in
the educational system of the Empire. for in
China it is largely the literary class that forms
opinion, and if it is welded to conservatism
there can be no expectation OF any deep or
permanent reform.
Prince Kung twenty years ago endeavored to
give China an effective navy. and with the val
liable assistance Of Captain Sherrard Osborne
would probably have succeeded had not tho
Tories proved too strong for the Minister. and
his removal stopped every measure of progress

There are some suggestive facts in the re-

is the body that arbitrarily and unjusly added

peculiar method of equalization" 1t appears
that outside of this city the assessed personal

an increase of over $15,OOOOoO. Over 20
